Blonde and Channel Orange are both amazing albums in my eye and I’m far from a Frank Stan
Blonde is overrated by frank fans. Not a classic. Not good either.
it's a great album but frank fans act like it's the second coming of thriller or something
the most overrated artist of our generation, he's still good tho but his stans and internet critics really conviced us all of this narrative just because he's a homosexual and mysterious

What makes it not a classic?
Like let’s not pretend frank is innocent. He’s had some misses and polarizing music lately with blonde and the singles. But since he says nothing people take what they can get. If any other artist got caught plagiarizing they’d never hear the end of it. If they took the direction of his last two singles they’d get clowned and killed for it. But with frank since he stays so lowkey he’s looked at differently than other artists. Do you give him passes or does he please you? Let’s discuss.
Frank got caught plagiarizing?
Pretty much. People can't get mad at you when you don't give anything specific about music or other s***. At least they shouldn't.
what about it didnt you like?
It’s too soft, not as ambitious as channel orange was. His singing, while more refined, is not as raw as channel orange either. I feel like he took a step back songwriting wise
Wait I’m kinda confused lol. What did he steal from? Channel Orange and Blond are artistic masterpieces that borrow style from albums but I never knew he directly stole from another artist’s work.
What would you say Blonde borrowed from and what would you say CO borrowed from?
Man hosted a queer party in Brooklyn, named it PrEP, invited whites only and had no respect for all the queer artists of color from the scene he’s appreciating for clout. He’s a leech
Oh and don’t get me started with his obsession with white people

he probably made the screenplay in 10 minutes
I was expecting his actual art to be plagiarized
what did it do for r&b
i dont think it has to change the genre to be a classic
The vinyl debacle and overpriced merch isn’t a great sign either
Every artist has overpriced merch. I don’t blame him for it. He makes exclusive one time drops and I don’t think it’s bad if he jumps up the price. He knows people are gonna resell it anyways so why not get a bigger cut
I definitely think signs point to him not being a particularly nice person, and his radio silence to his fans throughout this vinyl debacle has been pretty dreadful.
But still, he’s absolutely not the first artist in the world to get a pass because of the quality of his work and he certainly won’t be the last.
Anyone who is saying things like “Blonde isn’t very good” is being contrarian for the sake of it. Frank has two outrageously good studio albums.

So you don’t consider that part of his actual art? Lol
